“At this time, what we can say is that we are tracking down all leads,” a TPD spokesperson told WCTV Tuesday morning.
Just hours after the shooting occurred Sunday, the sports bar released a statement on social media, extending prayers to Gaines and his family.
“Zingales billiards wanted to reach out to everyone and mention the events that happened last night, but we just don’t have the words. After a senseless act of violence, a customer lost their life last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.”
WCTV also spoke with a witness who said she was still shaken up after the events transpired, describing the night as frightening.
“We started hearing gunshots and me and my friend, we got separated once we heard the gunshots cause its flight, the first thing you’re thinking is safety. A dude ended up grabbing me and told me get under the pool table, get under the pool table. I would’ve never thought I’d be in this predicament. You supposed to have someone there checking for guns, checking for knives and weapons, but they wasn’t doing that. I came in with my purse, and no one checked my purse.”
